I tried several times, but have been unable to list anything properly on their site. I use a lot of HTML in my descriptions and the same ads that work fine on just about every other auction site, will not load onto Lowest Bids. I get absolutely nothing. I contacted their customer service and they just suggested that I check my HTML coding. It's not my ads - they work fine everywhere else. I suspect that it's because I did not download their bid bar and prefer to stick to a regular type of listing. It's no big deal - I have many many other avenues to list at. Maybe I'll check back with them in a few month, maybe not.

I decided to take a look at this site. I also inquired about HTML, since I like to use some in my listings. The person I spoke with said that they use a watered-down version of HTML so that there is still some level of control with the listings. By that, they don't want background color changes that could cause keyword spamming or things like that. I guess this also means we can't include banners/buttons for sites like Paypal, although I'm not too sure about that.
Maybe that was the problem, comics.
Edited to add: I think you should e-mail the CEO of lowestbids and ask him to help.
